People who can comfortably live off 30% of their income cluelessly explaining savings to people who can barely live off 100% of theirs is a phenomenon I encounter way too often.

YOU'RE NOT BETTER AT BUDGETING YOU JUST HAVE MORE MONEY.

Look like one group is doing well out of the cost of living (enforced poverty) crisis & the financial plight of local councils (now often taking a zero tolerance approach to outstanding payments)...

Yup, the Bailiffs are have a good time (and of course, the bosses are paying themselves accordingly.

Yet one more symptom of a country in which callousness has been normalised & poverty is increasingly violently punished.

Millenials having "little to no loyalty in the workplace" is a sign of *progress*, not concern, you fucking deliberately obtuse coercive capitalist fucks.

Repost this if Trans people are welcome and safe with you.

Britain's poor have been the victims of fifteen years of Tory austerity & poor economic management.

But you don't have to believe their critics on this, as Tom Clark sets out here (with links) the state's own data show conclusively the effect of shredding the safety net for the vulnerable & poor.

We have a callous govt. that has wrecked this country for so many; now no-one can now claim they were unaware.

Will Keir Starmer act on this?

There's something about the northern reaches that just get weird...

Extending Trump's tax cuts will cost $3.5 trillion over a decade.

This is why Trump wants to cut Social Security.

So he can take a lifetime of earned benefits away from working people and gift it to the rich.

It's reverse Robin Hood.

The Inaccessibility Cycle

"Labour see incitement to kill an MP who they’ve been bullying for years and marginalising for 11 months as a chance to score political points against the Tories and a convenient opportunity to fundraise donations, and the Tories see the world’s first live-streamed genocide as a good thing because it’s harming Labour’s standing amongst Muslim voters."

Wanton killing of innocent civilians is terrorism, not a "war against terrorism."

What is #Eurocentrism? A few ways to think about it - not based on specific reading, just my thoughts. Feel free to add!

- #Eurocentrism is talking about “European values” as self-evidently good, without stopping to think where that idea comes from & what it says about you and your knowledge of attitude to the rest of the world

- #Eurocentrism is being a white European living in Europe, never thinking about colonialism and how your comfort & wealth, your morning coffee, derives from it
